Letters Patent No. 109,497, dated November 22, 1870.

IMPRovEMl-:NT IN BREAD-FANS.

'The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making partof the same.

To allan/'hom it nung/'concern Beit known that I, WILLIAM A. DAGGETT, of South Vineland, in the county of Cumberland and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bread-Paus; and I do hereby declare 'that the'iollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereo, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a central vertical section of my dough-raising pan.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the top of said pau.

'.lhe nature of my invention consists in the construction 'ot' a pan for raising dough, -in the manner set lforth.

'A 'represents a pan or vessel, made ot' thc required size, and of any suitah e material. At a distance of an inch, more or less, rom the top, the pau A is made to tlareinward at a slight angle down to 'the bottom.

Bde'signates a second pan, which is inserted in A,

and extends from about midway o t A to within an inch, more or less, of the bottom ot' A. The top ot' pan B will be made to tit tight in A, and soldered in position, and its sides will tiare inward at a greater angle-than the sides of A, so as to afford a space between the two pans, to contain bot water.. In order to introduce the hot water into the space between the two pans A and B, the semicircnlar funnel G is provided. The said funnel communicates, at its lower end, with the opening between A and B,.- 'lhe fnnuel'Cis `furnished with a hinged top, which can be closed after the hot water is introduced.

Sts an additional device wir pan A, the cylindrical .vessel D is provided. lhe vessel D is formed, at its lower end, in the' shape of an inverted cone, and has a hinged top to it. When the dough is placed in pan A, the vessel D, being iilled with hot water, (and its top closed, to prevent` thc escape ot' vapor,) will be thrust down in the/center ot' the dough in pan A, and thus contribute to diffuse the heat throughout 'the mass..

In order to gire proper ventilation to thc dough when in process of rising, a number of small perforater.

One great advantage ot' my invention is that dough can bc raised in the coldest weather as well as in summer, and is allti'mes protected from dust and dirt.

.Having thus described my invention,

What I1 claim, and desire to secure by Letters Iatent, is-

1. The withill-described brezul-raiser, consisting of au exterior pan, A, and au interior pan, B, the latter extending from the bottom to about une-halt' ol' the distance to the top of the former, leaving a suitable space'betwcen them, and provided with the interior funnel C, all arranged as set forth.

2. In combination with the brezul-raiser. the vessel I), constructed and used as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as xnycwn, I alii-x my signature in presencev of two witnesses- TILLIAM A. DAGGETT.
